THE LONG VOYAGE.
During the winter, on one of those
bitter nights when no one in Province.
town stirred out of doors, the old Lob
dell house was burned to the ground.
The destruction was complete; only
ashes and the stones of the foundation
remained; there was not even charred
beam or plank. What caused the con-
Migration was never discovered. To
no one was the loss less troublesome
than to the owners of the old house.
Secure now in the possession of mod
crate competence, cherishing the
memory of Captain Willis, and yet
with paramount feelings of loathing
and disgust for the place, Mrs. Willis
and Mrs. Crawford Qor Nellie Willis
had ceased to exist in society as well
as in the merchant-service) could
truthfully say, as they did, that they
were not sorry for the casualty.
The Lind reader who has followed
the story so far is notified that the
Lobdell house hardly exists in tradition
now in Provincetown. Should he go
to its site in the pleasant New England
summer, ne will iini ii covered with
pretty cottages in the Queen Anne
style, ON the piazzas OF which women
and children spend the long afternoons
looking out over the bay. from which
the salt breeze comes up refreshingly.
They never dream-and it is certainly
better that they should not know-of
the stirring life-drama, closing with
tragedy, that was thirty-fye years ago
enacted upon this spot.
As the winter advanced. Henry Craw-
ford did not improve as rapidly as the
physician had predicted, and that con-
scientious professional man urged
trip to the tropics. Mrs. Willis. COM
fortably located with her sister, and
with plans for the future not yet
formed, agreed with the doctor, OBJ
serving that as Helen and Henry had
not as yet thought best to take bridal
trip, perhaps the warning of the doctor
might furnish an excuse to combine
business with pleasure.
This was so near an approach to q
joke, that Mr.. Crawford looked with
surprise upon his staid and widowed
mother-in-law. She smiled quite dis
tinctly at him.
Mrs. Crawford urged the trip. Hell
loving heart had taken alarm from the
mere fact of the physicians advice.

Freight Agent Davies Crime Surprises tho

and assistant freight agent Of the New York

ing. He is 40 years old, and has a wife and
four children at 262 West 120th street. He has

cred one OF the most Trustworthy and efficient
Of tho company's servants,
In the companys freight and ticket offices no
regular inspection OF accounts takes place. but
those who handle money are liable at any time
to have their books overhauled by the travel
ling examiners. The examiners make inspec-
tons as often as they please. and never give no.
Two U Of them Walked into Daviss Office last
week Friday.
Davis knew the men. and leaving the office
on some slight pretext. did not return. The
examiners were day going through Davis's
accounts. which. they found. had been sys-
tematically falsifled for four years. Davis's
frauds consisted almost wholly In carrying in
his accounts as unpaid bills freight bills that
had. In fact. been paid. He embezzled nearly
$4,000 Of this money.
The detectives found Davis living in Camden
under the name Of T. H. Shaw. He confessed
his crime and offered to come to New York
without q requisition. He said he had lost the
money at gambling with cards and wit stocks.
His bonds, given by the American Surety Com
pany. are nearly equal to the amount stolen.
